Instructions

Season the shrimp with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt.
In a skillet, heat the sun-dried tomato oil over medium heat and add the seasoned shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add butter, minced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the tomato paste, diced sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Cook for a minute.
Add the vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer. Slowly stir in the heavy cream and let it thicken.
Mix in the gluten-free flour, spices (sweet smoked paprika, salt, and dried basil), and diced spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts.
Finally, add parmesan cheese and the cooked shrimp. Mix well and let simmer for a few more minutes.

Notes

Use fresh shrimp for best flavor. Adjust spices to taste. Add red pepper flakes for extra heat.
